ABOUT ME

Always striving to improve at many different levels.
Make the best of every situation, even when breaking a bone. :-)
I'm respectful, accepting, happy and healthy.
I've recently set up a few goals that I can see accomplished in the not so far future. Experiences and challenges are always welcome, they help me become a better person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stargazing; swim in the sea...; seeing the sun set and sun rise in the Midwest; see those around me smile and laugh. It always amazes and makes me feel good to see others feel accomplished and happy.

Teach, Learn, Share

As an ever evolving and progressing person and teacher, I learn everyday as much as I teach.

That priceless moment when the learner's face lightens up with the "I got it, now!".

Share my positive outlook of life, and Nature.
